Internet Reference Services Quarterly: A Journal of Innovative Information Practice, Technologies, and Resources http://www.haworthpress.com/web/IRSQ/
Internet Reference Services Quarterly tackles the tough job of keeping librarians up to date with the latest developments in Internet referencing and librarianship. This peer-reviewed quarterly journal is designed to function as a comprehensive information source librarians can turn to and count on for keeping up-to-date on emerging technological innovations, while emphasizing theoretical, research, and practical applications of Internet-related information services, sources, and resources. Librarians from any size or type of library in any discipline get the knowledge needed on how to best improve service through one of the most powerful reference tools available - the Internet. In Internet Reference Services Quarterly, experts from every aspect of librarianship provide unique perspectives and studies of this constantly evolving resource. The journal will keep you up-to-date with essential information on:
* course management systems * blogs * statistical packages and analyzers * Web tutorials * streaming video and audio * library Web site innovations * digital or chat reference * digital collections and digital object repositories * Internet and copyright law * link resolvers * federated searching technologies * management of electronic resources * IT library mergers * Internet security * iPods and carry-along collections on handheld devices * archive, catalog, collection development, and circulation issues * instruction and distance education
Occasionally the journal focuses on a single theme to provide an in-depth look at an important subject. Past themed issues have covered improving Internet reference services to distance learners and Web resources on bioterrorism and political violence. In addition, Internet Reference Services Quarterly includes a book review section overseen by Virginia E. Young, Director of McGraw-Page Library at Randolph-Macon College, that presents synopses and analysis of Internet-related monographs and serials. Internet Reference Services Quarterly presents top-notch writers and experts in the field to give you the quality practical information you require. As a librarian from any size or type of library (research, academic, public, school, special, or corporate) no matter what discipline (administrative services, reference services, interlibrary loan, acquisitions, collection development, bibliographic instruction, cataloging, etc.), this journal is a must-have for anyone interested in increasing library service staff skills and providing the best, most innovative service to library users. This has been added to Reference Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
